Kim relives her ordeal MUMS’UNBREAKABLE
KIM Kardashian West has recalled the moment she tried to call her bodyguard for help as robbers broke into her flat in Paris.
In a teaser clip for TV programme Keeping Up With The Kardashians, she explained to sisters Khloe and Kourtney when she realised what was happening on October 2.
She said: “I was lying in bed like, ‘Should I wash my face? I’m so tired’ ... and 10 minutes later I was dozing, dozing, and then I heard pounding up the stairs.
“I thought it was you (Kourtney) and Stephanie, drunk. I was calling to them like ‘Hello?’ and there was no answer. And then at that moment when there wasn’t an answer my heart started to get really tense.” IT was the worst of times, it was the best of times...born in the same year a few miles apart, these two mums have formed an unbreakable bond through a dreadful disease
In 2015 mum-of-onene Natalie Sweeney had her worldd shattered when doctors told her she had an incurable grade 3 cancerousrous tumour called an oligodendroglioma.ioma.
That same year, Angelaela Conway also underwent major brain rain surgery for a low grade tumour.
Since meeting after their heir surgeries at a local Maggie’s Centre entre young people’s group, their friendshipendship has blossomed into a fighting force, campaigning for vital fundraising for research and awareness.

“After they did a CT scan to reveal a large mass on my brain measuring 10cm by 7cm and 4cm thick, I was rushed to the RVI hospital in Newcastle for brain surgery.
“The surgeon said if my mum hadn’t insisted on a scan I wouldn’t be here now.” Natalie has since undergone months of chemotherapy and radiotherapy to keep the tumour at bay. But she said: “It is treatable but it’s not curable. I don don’tt know how long I’ve got left. “But I’ve always felt that positivity is the answer and I try to find the fun in everything.” Even when her hair started to fall out two weeks into her radiotherapy treatment, Natalie said: “I knew I had to make it fun. “I decided to separate the remainder of my hair into lots of ponytails and let all the kids in the street, including my son, cut a bobble each. “T h i s allowed all the children I am closest to b e i nv o l v e d in my j o u r n e y and meant it wasn’t such a
